The BCC is located in Mailman House, located at the edge of campus near the South Street bridge.
Please note: this requires a staircase to get to. If you have accessibility needs, please let us know. We have an alternative office in Goldfarb that is accessible, as well as telehealth (Zoom) availability.
All enrolled graduate and undergraduate students may be seen at the BCC and/or Health Center.
Services include:
Short-Term Individual Therapy
Case Management
Medication Evaluation and Management (For students actively engaged in counseling at the BCC)
If you are interested in being seen at the BCC, your first step is to call 781-736-3730 from 9 A.M to 5P.M, Monday through Friday to schedule an assessment.
We have psychologists, social workers, supervised interns, and psychiatrists.
All on-campus counseling services are provided with no out-of-pocket or direct costs passed along to students. The BCC submits insurance claims for all services rendered. Students simply present their health insurance cards at every appointment, just as they do when accessing care at home.
The information shared with staff at the BCC is confidential and no information will be released from the BCC without your consent. The BCC does not inform your parents or family, professors, or other university staff, or anyone else that you are in care, unless we have your permission to do so. There are a few rare exceptions:
If there is a risk of imminent danger to you or to another person, the clinician is ethically bound to take necessary steps to prevent harm, this could include breaking confidentiality. If there is an indication that a child, elder, or person with a disability is being physically or sexually abused, the clinician is legally required to notify the proper authorities. When a valid court order is issued by a judge for medical records, the clinician is bound by law to comply with such requests.
For additional information, please read the student agreement / consent to treatment form you will receive prior to your appointment with us.Regular Hours
